Before I buy

I had a few questions about it.

With NGS MusicBrainz Picard won’t tag with disc numbers correctly (they say it needs a rewrite) instead it just lists them like 1 CD. I have tested out Jaikoz and determined it seems to correctly add disc numbers.

Can I force it to reanalyze songs already tagged using MusicBrainz and populate the data again?

Can’t I just have it Autocorrect and then update the filenames/subfolders at the same time without needing to keep selecting those options individually?

Now one of the most important things, how smart is it? If I have 3 Doors Down and it contains 12 audio tracks there are 3 entries in MusicBrainz with that. Normally I would first do a scan to let MusicBrainz determine which is accurate, but it doesn’t always put them into the same release so I usually pick the one that has more matches. Is that what Jaikoz does? Or will it add them to whatever acoustic ID regardless if they are complete or not. It would be a pain in the ass to load them into MusicBrainz one day finding they are listed as 2 separate CD’s.

Thanks

Yes this works in Jaikoz

Yes, just display the MB Unique Id, select the fields, right click and select Delete to delete the value, you can also right click on the column header and select ‘Emoty Column’ to delete the value for all listed songs.

If you just want to match a number of songs to one release, you dont even have to empty the column first, just run Action/Match to Release/Match Songs to one Musicbrainz Release.

Yes, open Preferences:Manipulators:AutoCorrecter and add the ‘Correct Filename from Metadata’ and ‘Correct SubFolder from Metadata’ to the list of tasks.

Jaikoz algorithm is pretty complex and is release based so it always trys to match sets of tracks to a single release. Only if it cannot do this will it ad to multiple releases, but you can prevent this happening anyway by checking Preferences:Remote Correct:Only Match Complete Releases

Is there a way to have it ignore tracks that contain the word “Silence” and still consider them complete releases? (I delete those tracks they serve no purpose)

If I delete the MB Unique ID but don’t save the changes yet can I still reanalyze them correctly?

When you enable the Only Match Complete Releases options it means that if you have 10 songs with the same value for album and you run autocorrect it will only allow a match if able to find a match for all ten tracks to one album, but it is okay if the album they match to contains more tracks than you have. So if you have deleted tracks that you dont want it doesn’t prevent this matching :slight_smile:

I’m going to try it out now, we’ll see how it works. If I like it I’ll order :smiley:
